What this Kiltarlity house is like

The full address is 2 Cragganvallie, Kiltarlity, which is a village in the Beauly Firth hinterland about eight miles west of Inverness, not in Beauly town itself. That distinction matters: you are in quiet Highland farmland with the Aird hills above you and the firth below, and you need a car for everything — the shops at Beauly, the city, the supermarket run. What you get in return is a whole house sleeping six, which with 44 listed facilities and a 4.7 score from 256 reviews is clearly a well-run and well-provisioned one.

The list covers the things that actually change a Highland week: a kitchen with oven, microwave, dishwasher and washing machine, a fireplace, a hot tub and jacuzzi, a patio, terrace and garden, high chairs and cots for small children, a sofa bed and family rooms, free parking and Wi-Fi. A canoe, bike storage and fishing are the sort of details that only appear in a place set up by people who know what guests want to do up here. Pets are allowed, which matters if you were planning to bring the dog — confirm the house rules when booking, as Highland lets vary on where pets may go.

One caution that is not specific to this house but applies to any hot-tub let: check that the tub is included in the rate and available during your stay, and check the cleaning charge and minimum night stay on the rate you are quoted. Six-person houses in this area often price by the week in summer and by the night out of season.

The Beauly area, and the Highlands from here

Beauly itself is a small town with a ruined priory founded in 1230, a good butcher and deli, and the river of the same name running through it. The Aird and the forests above Kiltarlity — Eskadale, Boblainy, the trails at Belladrum — are the immediate walking, and the Falls of Rogie, a short drive north beyond Muir of Ord, is a pleasant wooded walk with salmon leaps and a rope bridge.

Inverness is twenty minutes: the castle, the riverside, the Victorian covered market and the Caledonian Canal at Muirtown. From there the choices open out. Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle are half an hour down the A82, the Black Isle and its dolphins at Chanonry Point about forty minutes, and Glen Affric — arguably the most beautiful glen in Scotland, with its pinewoods and lochs — an hour west past Cannich. The Cairngorms, Aviemore and the ski slopes are an hour and a quarter south-east; the Applecross and Torridon roads are a long but magnificent day out to the west.

For families, the Highland Wildlife Park near Kingussie, Landmark Forest Adventure Park at Carrbridge and the beach at Rosemarkie and Nairn are all within easy reach. Inverness Airport is a quarter of an hour away, which makes the house workable for a fly-drive week, and the North Coast 500 route passes nearby if you are continuing north.

Getting here and getting around

By air, Inverness Airport at Dalcross is about fifteen minutes. By rail, Beauly has a station on the Inverness–Kyle line and Muir of Ord a little further north, both a short taxi ride from the village. By road, the A862 follows the south side of the firth from Inverness to Beauly, and the A835 heads north from there towards Dingwall and Ullapool.

Once here, you need a car. The exception is a genuine Inverness city day, where the train from Beauly avoids the parking problem entirely. Fuel up in Beauly or Inverness: the west coast roads toward Ullapool and Gairloch have long stretches without a station, and that is worth planning for.

When to come, and how many nights

May and June are the best of the Highland year — long light, broom and bluebells, midges not yet at their worst. July and August are warmest and busiest, with the midges out in the evenings (the hot tub is best used before dusk, or with a breeze). September and October are excellent: fewer visitors, autumn colour on the Aird, and stags roaring on the hill. Winter is short-dayed and can be beautiful, but Highland roads and weather demand respect, and some local businesses close.

Three nights is a minimum for the area, and a week is what most people book: it takes that long to do Loch Ness, Glen Affric, the Black Isle and one hill day without driving all day every day. Divide the drive between two people, and leave slack in the plan — Highland journeys take longer than the map suggests. Check the minimum stay and cleaning charge on the rate before you pay, and ask about the tub's servicing when you confirm.
